The topics include what parties he's been to, what his school is like, and even what he does with his friends. It also includes fighting with bullies. If you want want to know more  about Max, read My Life in Smiley. 

Star rating: 4/5

Why?: This book is funny, especially the way the kid draws his point of view of things that happened. The diary style makes it feels like I know his secrets even if Max isn't real. 

Scary scale 0/10

Why?: This book wasn't scary because it was silly and realistic. None of the charters die but the bullies are mean. Since the bullies are fiction, it didn't scare me.

Thank you Ms. L. for giving me this book and for being my amazing teacher.

I would love to see more of my fans so make sure to follow and be a awesome super cool fan and followers 😀.

Book Review: The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz by L. Frank Baum

Summary: Dorothy Gale 1ives Kansas with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry and dear dog, Toto. Kansas is is a very sad grey place but Dorothy has Toto who makes her happy. 

One day, there's a tornado but Dorothy is still in her house instead of a shelter, with only Toto to keep her company. The twister picks up her house and brings her to a strange land filled with color. 

She meets The Good Witch of  the North who tells her she's in Oz and that she has killed the Wicked Witch of the East by squishing her with her house. Dorothy is scared because she would never choose to kill anything, not even a wicked witch! 

Even if Oz is filled  with color, Dorothy wants to go home. She misses her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. The Good Witch tells her to follow the yellow brick road. To be continued...

Star rating: 4 1/2 out of 5

Why? I liked this book because it was a exiting story about magic, friendship, and home. It is different from the movies like Oz: the Great and Powerful or the Wizard of Oz. I was surprised to find out that the Wicked Witch of the West couldn't hurt Dorothy because of a  magic kiss Dorothy got from the Witch of the North. I liked that Dorothy can't get hurt even if in the movie she could. I also liked that there were parts that were in Oz: the Great and Powerful such as the Little Town of China Dolls. Instead of the dolls being broken like in the movie above, they are all ok and in one piece. Every version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is fun but it is exiting to read the original story. 

Scary scale 0-10: 0

Why? This book didn't scary me because I had heard the story many times. I had noticed that in every other version the bad guys are scarier but in this version they can't hurt Dorothy. 

I would love to see more of my fans so make sure to follow and be a awesome super cool fan and followers 😀.
